Ye Wudao and Feng Tutu, the two great Wuchangs, guarded the doorway. Today—no one in the room would leave alive!
Ahhh!
Guo Meiling held her cheeks with trembling hands, blood splattering her palms. Despite the extreme pain, she suppressed her cries!
The sudden turn of events stunned Du Niancheng.
He hadn't even noticed how Lu Pan and the other two appeared in the Xu family hall!
However, as the Xu family's butler, he had seen plenty of grand occasions and calmed down instantly. He glared at Lu Pan, "Lu Pan, provoking the Xu family, you are courting death!"
"You are the one courting death, and so is the Xu family!" Lu Pan's eyes were indifferent, as if gazing at a cold corpse.
Looking into Lu Pan's terrifying eyes, Du Niancheng felt an unprecedented chill in his heart.
That chilling feeling and oppressive aura were not even this terrifying when facing the Xu family head, Xu Jinsheng!
"Take him down!" Du Niancheng roared, "Alive or dead!"
Immediately, two figures behind him swiftly attacked Lu Pan.
They were fast, but someone was faster than them.
Ye Wudao and Feng Tutu, like two phantoms, directly blocked the two, their domineering auras crushing them.
The next second, the two were sent flying backward, crashing into the wall, spitting blood, and falling unconscious.
Du Niancheng's face changed drastically. Those two were masters of Dark Energy Grade Eight, top experts. He never expected them to be incapacitated by Lu Pan's subordinates in a single encounter.
Du Niancheng began to panic, as two Dark Energy Grade Eights could walk around Qingcheng with impunity.
But the Xu family had underestimated Lu Pan's strength!
"Boy, do you know what kind of existence the Xu family is?" Du Niancheng's thoughts raced, and he brought up the Xu family again.
"The mere Xu family is but an ant in my eyes!" Lu Pan surveyed Du Niancheng with a cold gaze.
His words directly caused Du Niancheng's seven orifices to bleed, appearing terrifyingly grim.
"Today, I'll spare your dog life. Go back and tell the Xu family that I will personally visit another day to retrieve the Xuan Shui Jade and avenge today's insult!"
Saying this, Lu Pan kicked Du Niancheng out of the door.
"Kill everyone else!"
With Lu Pan's command, Ye Wudao and Feng Tutu transformed into two sharp blades.
Lu Pan picked up the unconscious Mo Ziyan and walked out of the Xu family.
One minute later.
Ye Wudao and Feng Tutu emerged from the Xu family's assembly hall.
"Boss, it's all done," Ye Wudao said emotionlessly.
Feng Tutu then kicked a sports car parked in front of the door into the assembly hall. With a loud bang, it exploded, igniting a raging fire.
Lu Pan, holding the unconscious Mo Ziyan, handed a list to the two.
"Investigate which people and companies currently own these industries!" Lu Pan instructed with a blank expression.
The industries on the list originally belonged to their faction but were annexed by various forces in Qingcheng after that great fire.
He intended to take them back one by one.
"Your subordinate will investigate immediately!" Ye Wudao received the order.
Feng Tutu's face was filled with murderous intent, "Boss, the Xu family offended you. Your subordinate will immediately lead people to Jicheng, flatten the Xu family, and retrieve the Xuan Shui Jade!"
Lu Pan snorted coldly and said sternly, "Let the Xu family continue to frolic for a while longer. There is another matter that requires your attention now."
"Missing persons?" Feng Tutu's expression grew more solemn. "What are the Qingcheng police doing? They haven't found any leads after so many days... Could it be the work of martial artists?"
Feng Tutu immediately grasped the crucial point.
"I've already asked Yuan Pu to investigate. He may not be able to find anything. You mobilize the people of Blood Shadow Tower and find the mastermind within three days!"
Or, Lu Pan threw a blood-red jade pendant to Feng Tutu.
Blood Shadow Tower, one of the most mysterious and powerful organizations in the world!
Intelligence, assassinations, bounties, everything was closely related to Blood Shadow Tower.
There were even rumors that Blood Shadow Tower possessed the world's top-secret information from various countries!
And Blood Shadow Tower was founded by Lu Pan's ninth master.
Receiving the Blood Shadow Jade, Feng Tutu dared not delay and immediately accepted the order, "Your subordinate will not fail Boss's trust!"
After the two left, Lu Pan, carrying Mo Ziyan, departed the Xu family and returned to Violet Maple Villa.
Meanwhile.
Lu Yuansen's car was parked in front of Violet Maple Villa.
He stepped forward and knocked, but no one answered for a long time.
"Could it be that the great figure is not here today?" A flicker of disappointment flashed in Lu Yuansen's eyes.
After waiting for a few more moments with no response, Lu Yuansen left dejectedly.
Xu Family Private Hospital.
Lu Hao had not yet woken up.
A man of eighteen or nineteen years old sat by his bedside; it was his younger brother, Lu Hui.
When Lu Yuansen entered, Lu Hui quickly got up and stepped forward to inquire, "Dad, have you invited that important person?"
Lu Yuansen shook his head and looked at Lu Hao lying in bed, sighing, "I have company matters to attend to. You stay with your brother. I'll visit again tomorrow."
After giving instructions, Lu Yuansen left.
Lu Hui muttered unhappily, "What great figure? Even my dad can't invite them. I don't believe it!!"
With that, Lu Hui summoned his underlings and left Qing Shan Hospital, heading straight for Violet Maple Villa.
—
As soon as Lu Pan returned to the villa and settled Mo Ziyan, he heard urgent knocking at the door.
At the door.
Lu Hui impatiently urged his underlings, "Keep knocking! I don't believe no one's inside!"
"Second Young Master, Master Lu said a great figure lives here. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to disturb them so rashly?" a subordinate reminded Lu Hui.
Hearing this, Lu Hui was somewhat dismissive, cursing, "What great figure? I think it's just someone putting on airs. In Qingcheng, who can be greater than my dad?"
"Besides, my brother is in a coma. As a younger brother, shouldn't I hurry and invite this great figure back?" Lu Hui said with a cold laugh.
The subordinate dared not say more.
Young Master Lu the Second was known as the "Troublesome Little Demon King" of Qingcheng. Angering him could result in being thrown into Shark Bay to feed the sharks in minutes!
"Stop the nonsense and keep knocking, knock harder!"
Soon, Lu Pan came to open the door, his face showing impatience and coldness.
Lu Hui was taken aback, not expecting Lu Pan to be so young. He quickly smiled and asked, "Brother, where is your master? Just say the second young master of the Lu family has come to visit!"
"Second Young Master Lu? Lu Hui?" Lu Pan's gaze chilled slightly as he looked at Lu Hui, recalling some childhood anecdotes.
Lu Hui, hearing that the other party knew his name, couldn't help but laugh proudly. "Haha... I didn't expect you to have heard of my name. That's right, I am Lu Hui, the second young master of the Lu family. Hurry and inform your master!"
Lu Pan revealed a playful look and replied with a smile, "Sorry, I am the master of this place currently!"
"You?" Lu Hui was stunned and frowned. "So you are the great figure Master Yuan spoke of? It seems Master Yuan was also fooled..."
Lu Pan looked no more than a few years older than him, so Lu Hui naturally didn't believe he was some great figure.
A sharp glint flashed in Lu Pan's eyes. Yuan Pu had actually disclosed his information to the Lu family!
"Regardless, you need to come with me to the hospital first!"
Lu Hui's tone was overbearing. Since he was here, he planned to take Lu Pan back for examination.
Lu Pan looked at the arrogant Lu Hui and said lightly, "Sorry, I do not treat those who are dying!"
